Election reflections IV (Poetry)

Posted by Femi Segun on May 16, 2010

2003 ELECTIONS

Second term reelection,
Sharpen the none-performance Votes
Hone the Ballot Papers
Stock the Bullet boxes
and Prime the Agents to explode
It is all or nothing!

Candidates Press for War
Weapons of mass destruction
The Pen and the Gun interchange
as Character Assassination is rifle
Opponent Audit is mandatory
Especially the breech-born

Manic oppression
births
Overawed poverty
breeds
condemnation for survival
Service to the last breath
The death of conscience

Pulses race to seizure
As conspirators to expiration
Aspire to the Dunghill
And hope splashes in bloody puddles
As Demoncracy goosesteps on
The ashes of tomorrow's children
